this study evaluates the effectiveness of adsorption process by granular activated carbon (gac) compared with a novel formulation of coagulation - flocculation process for dye removal from textile wastewater. in this regard, acidic, reactive, disperse and direct red dye are used to prepare the synthetic dye. dominant wave length for each dye is determined by spectrophotometeric method. using ga...

the decolorization of maxilon-red dye by kissiris immobilized phanerochaete chrysosporium in the trickle-bed reactor (tbr) using the basal nitrogen-limited growth medium was studied. the influence of the superficial liquid velocity (slv) on the decolorizing ability of the fungus was examined at four slvs (cm sec-1): 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, and 0.15. maximum level of the decolorizing activity was abou...

Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...

In this study, the Fenton process was used to investigate the color removal efficiency of Acid Red 52 and Basic Red 18 dye solutions by direct chemical oxidation. Color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was successfully removed more than 99% and up to 92% respectively. This article would provide an easy assessment of the viability of using Fenton reagent in acidic conditions, so it is a prom...

water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. this natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. about 17 - 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. these effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cau...

This study was performed with the aim of investigating the efficiency of the Nano photocatalytic of ultraviolet and titanium dioxide compound and rice husk silica adsorbent (UV/TiO2/RHS) in removal reactive red 198 dye from synthetic aqueous solutions. The removal of reactive red 198 dye was done in batch reactors with a volume of 250 ml using RHS deposited by titanium dioxide in the...

This study investigated the efficiency of electerocoagulation (EC) in removing color from synthetic and simulated textile wastewater. The study on decolorization of mixed dyes is a step toward an effective treatment of textile wastewater. Two representative reactive dye molecules were selected for the synthetic dye wastewater, a blue dye alone and mixed dye (black, blue, red, 1:1:1v/v). The EC ...
